Another long update
My God I have been crap at updating on here recently. I log onto the net, check my emails, facebook, weather and then sit there and think ‘am sure there was something else I wanted to do’ and its not until I have logged off and started watching TV that I remember I wanted to update LJ. And then the longer I leave it, the more forgetful I become. So please excuse this long entry and I won’t blame you if you don’t read it all.
Firstly, Tokyo was AMAZING!! Easily one of the best weeks of my life; the atmosphere, scenery, food, people all blew my mind. The weather wasn’t always that good but I don’t care, it was excellent. Mount Fuji was a definite highlight but I enjoyed the Ghibli museum, riding the subway, getting lost around Shinjuku, the anime (though not enough Death Note stuff for my liking), the Japanese baths, the gorgeous saki and everything else. A week just wasn’t long enough but am already planning to return, with more time and money of course. I could ramble on about it for hours but won’t, I can’t believe I have been back nearly 2 months already.
Since I have been back I seem to have fallen into that dreadful routine of work, gym, sleep, wake up, work, gym, sleep. Possibly other entertainment such as drinking or cinema in-between if I am lucky. Seem to be stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment but am determined to get myself out of this soon, watch this space…
I went to Alton Towers last month which rocked. Bloody Tesco’s though are now giving away free day out vouchers, couldn’t have done that about 3 weeks ago. But I went on Nemesis, Rita Queen of Speed, Oblivion, the log flumes, Screwball Wizard, Corkscrew and all the other fab rides. As it was quiet because we went on a Monday there was hardly any queues. I got straight off Nemesis and was straight back on it within 10 minutes - BRILLIANT!!!!
Then over bank holiday weekend I visited my home from home, the gorgeous Exmouth. The weather wasn’t quite as sunny as I hoped but it didn’t rain so I went to the beach twice, had an ice-cream, got pissed up in Timepiece and saw some of my old friends from uni, which is always a joy! I love it down there, should really go there more often.
After that I haven’t been doing much due to lack of money though I did treat myself to episodes 1-8 of Death Note to amuse myself over the weekend. So I wanted to save money by staying in but ended up spending £16 on the DVD so that backfired a bit. Also I am going to see The Ting Tings tonight in Oxford so am forking out for that though more in petrol to get there and back than I am in the bloody tickets. Worth it though as they rock! That’s not my name, that’s not my name and all that hee hee.
There is of course one more final announcement I feel I should make - ITS MY BIRTHDAY NEXT WEEK!! Don’t know if I should be so happy that I am turning 28 pretty much in exactly the same place as last year. Well, that is a lie as I now have a job I enjoy and a mortgage with more friends and social life. But I am still on my own, something I never thought would happen to me but I suppose there is plenty of time for all that. Just annoys me cos I know I have a lot to offer the right person when he comes along but the men of Swindon are foolish if they don’t snap me up. I can make anyone happy, just can’t seem to find someone who will let me.
Anyway, am writing this at work so should really go and do some. Am peeved as I have to work until 5pm to cover the phones and need to leave Swindon before 6.30 to get to Oxford for the Ting Tings. Oh well, might just miss some of the support which is usually crap.
Promise not to try and leave it too long until the next update and Tokyo pics will follow shortly.
Love you all,
